Grilled Dijon Tomatoes: Page 175:
This is a brilliant dish to make for a brunch. Great way to combine eggs and potatoes in one dish. And a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.

Intentionally Left Blank: Somebody Else's Beef Stroganoff -
Everytime I come across somebody’s writing about a recipe from the book, I cringe a little out of fear that the recipe bombed. So when I saw this I smiled from ear to ear. And then I remembered how good this dish really is and wished I had egg noodles to make it right away.
Thanks, Dan!
I love things that end in Stroganoff. I have a pretty simple hamburger Stroganoff recipe that nobody will mistake for haute cuisine but is delicious and comforting. Since the moment on Christmas day when I cracked open Cinnamon Cooper’s Everything Cast-Iron cookbook, I knew it was only a matter…
Grilled Dijon Tomatoes: Page 175:
These are seriously the best tomatoes I have ever put in my mouth and I LOVE tomatoes. It doesn’t hurt that these tomatoes (a “Siberian” variety gifted to us our favorite Mr. Damon) came from our garden. But I scooped out the seeds and filled them with a mixture of dijon mustard, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and spices. They then went on the grill for a bit, got a little warmed and melty and oh my holy mama! Yummers!
Bringing the Bacon For You to Take Down -
Andrew Huff and I will be making 15 pints of Bacon Jam for attendees of the Bacon Takedown on 9/11 at Lincoln Hall in Chicago. If you like bacon, you should come see it and vote for us. Tis going to be yummers!
I’ve been nervous about reading reviews, especially those from strangers. But so far it’s been great. There is one on Amazon and one on Goodreads that I’ve encountered. I liked the one on Goodreads so much that I’m including it here:
“I don’t have a whole lot to learn about cast iron, really. I checked this book out of the library so that I could see if Cooper agrees with me. :)
But I’m going to need to buy this, because she includes a plethora of sauces, salsas, rubs, marinades, dressings and such that are just fantastic, and really useful.”
Serious Eats breaks down Cast Iron Cookware and Care
Lauren of The Hungry Knitter was fantastic enough to take a picture of The Croque Madame from the book. It’s essentially the fancy French name for a toasted ham sandwich a fried egg on top. It makes a great breakfast sandwich, or lunch, or even dinner. Thanks for the great shot, Lauren!
Oh, I’m so touched! A woman I’ve never had the pleasure to meet (or at least haven’t YET had the pleasure to meet) made two recipes from the Everything Cast-Iron Cookbook the first night she had it. TWO! And it looks delicious. So excited to see people putting the book to use. Thanks!
